Thank you and a combination of WD-40 and my thumb fingernails. It's a tedious process. I've used rubbing alcohol before too but have found the WD-40 works a bit better.
What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

Goo-gone is the bomb for taking sticky shit off.
Is that some kind of prop bar in the middle of the bed for the tonneau?

looks like a strap, maybe to strap it down when folded up?

Nice. I looked at the peragon, and was intrigued;but ultimately ordered the Retrax One MX. should have on Monday
I changed the thermostat.
HL3E-8575-AA was in there
HL3Z-8575-B went in today w/ a new HL3Z-8255-A gasket
I had 1 gallon of Motorcraft VC-7DIL-B 50/50 (yellow) to refill from - assuming I would lose a little beyond what I was draining into jugs.
I drained the system from the petcock using 3/8" ID clear tubing - into emptied Distilled Water gallon jugs. I got a little over a gallon out.
When I popped the T-stat housing off, a metric ton of coolant glugged out. I used a Vacuum bleed kit to refill, and the process was amazingly simple. I only had to add - maybe 1 cup after it was warmed up.
The reason I did it: I was seeing
CHT of 233 normally - with up to 240 or 245 on interstate cruising (no boost, not "on it").
Oil temp would stay ~208-215
Tonight - 35 minutes of interstate driving once it was bled, warmed up, and checked
CHT ~208-215
Oil Temp 197-208

Getting ready to move my Pressure Wash setup to a wall mount. Wanted 100% Stainlesss Steel. Should be ~$200 for the backsplash, shelves, reel and accessory mounts. Still looking at the water filtration setups but leaning towards the SpotBye tank setup.

Installed the E&G console safe, thanks @Mike27t.

And verified that a Mac will fit in the locked section of the console, I know some of you geeks will appreciate this

Very nice, threw me a curveball as my first thought was how would he be able to fit a laptop in there!!!
I used to have a modified version (some trimming required) of this when I was l using. The safe.

Yup, it's just a pull strap so you don't have to jump in to pull it closed.
